ICE detainee in New Jersey challenges continued detention after bond denial

Federal court reviews habeas petition from Peruvian national held in Elizabeth facility.

Newark, NJ – A Peruvian national detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in New Jersey has filed a federal habeas corpus petition challenging his continued detention, arguing he has been denied a meaningful opportunity for release.

Carlos Alberto Hinostroza Pozo, currently held at the Elizabeth Detention Center, brought the petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 after an immigration judge denied him bond earlier this year. The case is now before a federal district court, which confirmed it has jurisdiction to review the detention.
